Benefits of technology

This patent is about a system that allows a robot to collect information about its surroundings without having to try everything out first. This reduces the time it takes for the operator to set up the robot and also makes it easier to get the information it needs.

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, the operator must repeat such trial and error that the operator tries to actually obtain the plurality of images, then checks whether or not the imaging ranges of the plurality of images appropriately overlap each other, and then obtains the images again in the case in which the imaging ranges of the plurality of images do not appropriately overlap each other, and there is a problem that the load of the operator becomes heavier.

first embodiment

[0107]FIG. 1 is a system configuration diagram showing an example of a configuration of a robotic system 1 according to an embodiment of the invention. The robotic system 1 according to the present embodiment is mainly provided with a robot 10, a control section 20, a first imaging section 30, a second imaging section 31, a first ceiling imaging section 40, and a second ceiling imaging section 41.

[0108]The robot 10 is an arm type robot having two arms. Although in the present embodiment, the two-arm robot provided with two arms, namely a right arm 11R and a left arm 11L (hereinafter each referred to as an arm 11 in the case of expressing the right arm 11R and the left arm 11L in a lump) will be explained as an example, the number of the arms 11 of the robot 10 can also be one.

[0109]FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining the details of the arm 11. Although FIG. 2 shows the right arm 11R as an example, the right arm 11R and the left arm 11L have the same configuration. Hereinafter, the ri...

second embodiment

[0176]Although the first embodiment of the invention has the configuration of displaying the image showing the imaging range when virtually taking the stereo image using the simulation, the case of displaying the image showing the imaging range is not limited to the case of taking the image using the simulation.

[0177]The second embodiment of the invention has a configuration of displaying the image showing the imaging range when taking an actual image. Hereinafter, a robotic system. 2 according to the second embodiment will be explained. It should be noted that the configuration of the robotic system 2 is the same as the configuration of the robotic system 1, and therefore, the explanation thereof will be omitted. Further, regarding the action of the robotic system 2, the same parts as those of the first embodiment will be denoted with the same reference symbols, and the explanation thereof will be omitted.

[0178]FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing a flow of the process of the image proce...

Abstract

A robotic system includes a robot, a display section, and a control section adapted to operate the robot, and an imaging range of a first taken image obtained by imaging an operation object of the robot from a first direction, and an imaging range of a second taken image obtained by imaging the operation object from a direction different from the first direction are displayed on the display section.

Description

[0001]This application claims priority to Japanese Patent Application No. 2013-062839, filed Mar. 25, 2013, the entirety of which is hereby incorporated by reference.BACKGROUND[0002]1. Technical Field[0003]The present invention relates to a robotic system and an image display device.[0004]2. Related Art[0005]JP-A-2005-135278 (Document 1) discloses a simulation device, which disposes three-dimensional models of at least a robot, a work, and an imaging section of a visual sensor device on a screen to display the three-dimensional models at the same time, and then performs the movement simulation of the robot, wherein a device for displaying a view field of the imaging section on the screen so as to have a three-dimensional shape is further included.[0006]In order to perform the vision control in the field of actually using the robot based on an image obtained by imaging a work object, the position and so on of the work object are figured out by obtaining the three-dimensional informat...
